To the editor,We are very happy to announce that The Middleton Farmers Market has secured a great new location for the upcoming season. Opening day is Wednesday, June 25, and every Wednesday until Oct. 15th. 2:30-6:30 p.m. each Wednesday.Our new location will be at 145 South Main Street diagonally across route 114 from Richardsonís Dairy and at the top of the Fuller Meadow Schoolís access road. Middletonís Currier Family has generously offered this site to us this year in order to keep our market operating. With the help of Leon Rubchinuk they have helped to clear the land and get it ready for Opening Day. Through their generosity and commitment to the Middleton community, local produce and products will again be available to residents in Middleton and surrounding towns.Our gratitude for helping to promote the 4th year of The Middleton Farmers Market is also extended to many other interested citizens. Thanks to the Zoning Board who voted to keep us running, recognizing the value of The Middleton Farmers Market as being a place for our residents to buy local healthy produce and products and to keep a little of a "country -friendly atmosphere" to an otherwise busy route 114. To Chris Sparages, thank you for donating your engineering expertise.Many thanks are extended to our Middleton Police Department for offering to help us to direct traffic on Opening Day. Our list of thanks goes on and on including to our faithful sponsors who donate money to keep us operating, to the professionals who donate their time to prepare documents and advertising at little or no cost, to our Light Department that provides us with a power source for vendors and to our Market Manager, Mike Cosco and the volunteers who commit their time and energy every Wednesday and throughout the year in planning for a successful Middleton Farmers Market.We also would like to thank Angelicaís Restaurant for their generosity in providing us with our first three successful years of market space.So mark your calendars. Bring your kids. Bring a friend or neighbor. The Middleton Farmers Market opens on June 25th diagonally across from Richardsonís Dairy. Each week features the freshest local vegetables, meat, fish, cheese and wine. Fresh baked bread, cookies, hand made guacamole, organic granola, herbs and tea. Enjoy the family-friendly, community atmosphere including live music. Come Wednesday, June 25 and every Wednesday after until October 15th! See you there!Sincerely,The Middleton Farmers Market Committee: Sandy Rubchinuk, Christine Gianturco, Marie Janiak, Sue Rubin, Linda Friend, Sue Woodman, Wendy Middleman and Marc Plante
